Accepted Manuscript: Maximize, minimize or target - optimization for a fitted response from a designed experiment

Title: Maximize, minimize or target - optimization for a fitted response from a designed experiment

One of the common goals of running and analyzing a designed experiment is to find a location in the design space that optimizes the response of interest. Depending on the goal of the experiment, we may seek to maximize or minimize the response, or set the process to hit a particular target value. After the designed experiment, a response model is fitted and the optimal settings of the input factors are obtained based on the estimated response model. Furthermore, the suggested optimal settings of the input factors are then used in the production environment.
